In the Glass — Tasting Notes
Ripe citrus and juicy apricot open the show, with a whisper of oak toast beneath. On the palate, bright acidity cuts through concentrated fruit, leading to a lingering mineral length that speaks of deep limestone soils. This is refined white Burgundy: clarity and composure in every sip, equally at home alone or at table.
The Winery — Jean-Claude Boisset
Grégory Patriat, winemaker at this Nuits-Saint-Georges négociant, brings a vineyard-focused philosophy honed during his time at Domaine Leroy. He crafted the 2022 vintage with optimal ripeness (harvest 29 August–14 September), employing indigenous yeast fermentation in lightly-toasted oak and minimal handling to balance freshness with concentration. The company, founded in 1961, now operates from a state-of-the-art gravity-fed winery in a converted convent. The Morgeot parcel's 45-year-old vines root into brown limestone on the Côte d'Or and Côte Chalonnaise border, producing wines of real depth and place.
